Industries Long Addicted to Illegal Labor in Withdrawal as Trump Cracks Down

Daily Caller News Foundation (Melissa O'Rourke), The Star News Network

President Donald Trump’s immigration enforcement crackdown is exposing just how

dependent some U.S. industries have become on employing illegal immigrants. After years of looking the other way, many employers in the agriculture, construction and hospitality sectors who built their business models on cheap, unauthorized labor are feeling the pain. Worksite enforcement has picked up significantly in recent months. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is now averaging over 1,600 daily arrests. Hardliners call for 3000/day.
